Cats: Nothing New To Report
We’re checking in late, but there’s nothing new to report. Rossie puts herself to bed if I am not there to tuck her in at 8 pm. She likes routine. Sapphire hangs out with Sneaky during the day. Mr. L is doing his best to earn Daisy’s affection, and she … Continue reading →

Cats: Zelda Update

Cats: Daisy’s Integration
Daisy is slowly integrating into the household. She holds some of the other cats at bay by growling. She’s become intrigued by Tarzan. Tarzan, of course, mostly ignores her. She has tried to play with Rossie, and Rossie steps away and looks at her as if to say, “Please!” Daphne … Continue reading →
